The club itself is referenced occasionally in GTA IV, as in the case in "[[Out of the Closet]]" when [[Tom Rivas]] mentions the club and [[Hercules]], another club owned by [[Gay Tony]]. Other characters from GTA IV are also known to have frequented the club, including [[Gracie Ancelotti]] (as revealed during "[[...I'll Take Her]]"), [[Alexandra Chilton]] and [[Carmen Ortiz]] (Carmen refers to the club as "Bungalow 9") in dialogues during dates with Niko. The club is later reported by the [[Libertytreeonline.com]] to be closed alongside Hercules following allegations of drug pushing in the premises. Although it is mentioned in both in GTA IV and GTA The Lost and Damned, the club is inaccessible until GTA The Ballad of Gay Tony.

According to GTA The Ballad of Gay Tony's official website, Maisonette 9 was founded in 2003 by "Gay" Tony Prince, and, as indicated in The Ballad of Gay Tony, has been designed to face Galveston Ave, at the [[Westminster]]—[[The Meat Quarter|Meat Quarter]] border, in the basement levels of a warehouse-turned loft. The club itself only exists physically in The Ballad of Gay Tony, whereas the same location in GTA IV and GTA The Lost and Damned is nondescript, with no hints of the club's existence. Maisonette 9 is one of Liberty City's hottest nightclubs, where [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] serves as a manager and personal bodyguard to the club owner. Other Maisonette 9 clubs are currently operating in [[London]] and [[Las Venturas]]. The club plays music from The Ballad of Gay Tony's and Episodes from Liberty City's rendition of [[Electro-Choc#The_Ballad_of_Gay_Tony_and_Episodes_from_Liberty_City_rendition|Electro-Choc]].

As Luis works in Maisonette 9 as a manager, the player can access the club and interact with its patrons. Luis can [[Rhythm-based Minigames#The Ballad of Gay Tony|dance]], compete in a [[Champagne Drinking Contest|champagne drinking game]], [[Drinking#The Ballad of Gay Tony|drink shots]] or [[Club Management|manage the club]]. Maisonette 9 also serves as mission destination points. In the near final storyline in GTA The Ballad of Gay Tony, the club is later closed by the city but was re-bought and re-opened by [[Yusuf Amir]] in the later storyline.

* The nightclub is inspired by a real bar in New York City called [[wp:Bungalow 8|Bungalow 8]]; the owner of that club, Amy Sacco, does very brief voice work on the in-game radio, as a budding club owner named [[Larissa Slalom]] says that "Tony Prince is a loser". The real club was permanently closed in late 2009.

*On [[Integrity 2.0]], [[Lazlow Jones|Lazlow]] and his sidekick, [[Jorge (TBoGT)|Jorge]] try to get into Maisonette 9, but Dessie stops them. A woman then suggests they go to [[Bahama Mamas]], and later the two end up at [[Hercules]], thinking the club is full of women due to the long line of men outside (unaware it's a gay club).

* [[Yusuf Amir]] wants to franchise the clubs. After the storyline, Amir reveals that he had bought the place along with his father and might open more Maisonette 9 nightclubs around the world.

* The bouncer, [[Dessie]], is indestructible to anything aside from Luis. For example, punch him. Jump on top of a car, then dial 911 and select 1. Once the police arrive, approach them, then let them see Dessie punch you. They will fire continuously, to no avail. More and more police can be called, there is no limit, but they won't arrive on their own, you must call. He will fight them all off with his fists, then start back on you again. This also works with [[Troy(The Ballad of Gay tony)|Troy]], the bouncer of [[Hercules]].
